You test your new port of Berkeley DB by running the tests in the following order:
</p>
      <div class="orderedlist">
        <ol type="1">
          <li>
            <p>
Run the C tests in the following order:
</p>
            <div class="orderedlist">
              <ol type="a">
                <li>
                  <p>
Tests for the system primitives located in the
<code class="literal">test_os</code> directory. To run the tests, follow the
instructions in the <code class="literal">test_os/readme</code> file.
</p>
                </li>
                <li>
                  <p>

Tests for mutexes located in the <code class="literal">test_mutex</code>
directory. To run the tests, follow the instructions in the
<code class="literal">test_mutex/readme</code> file.
</p>
                </li>
                <li>
                  <p>
Tests for the common code paths located in the
<code class="literal">test_micro</code> directory. To run the tests in a shell
script, follow the instructions in the
<code class="literal">test_micro/readme</code> file. To run the tests as
simple C tests, follow the instructions in the
<code class="literal">test_micro/readme_embedded</code> file.
</p>
                </li>
              </ol>

          <li>
            <p>
If the target platform supports the use of Tcl (version 8.4 or later), run the Test Suite. 
How you run the Test Suite varies depending on the target platform:
</p>
            <div class="itemizedlist">
              <ul type="disc">
                <li>
                  <p>
If the target platform supports a UNIX-like version of Tcl, then set up Tcl
and build the Test Suite as described in "Running the Test Suite under
UNIX" in <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide</em> at 
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/build_unix/test.html" target="_top">http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/build_unix/test.html</a>
and, then, run the Test Suite as described in "Running the Test Suite" in 
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide</em> at
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/test/run.html" target="_top">http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/test/run.html</a>.
</p>
                </li>
                <li>
                  <p>

        If the target platform supports a Windows-like version of Tcl, then
        setup Tcl, and build and run the Test Suite as described in
        "Running the Test Suite under Windows" in
        <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide</em> at 
        <a class="ulink" href="http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/build_win/test.html" target="_top">http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/build_win/test.html</a>
